Casper Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42164455/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/Seriously though, I hope we don't get dragged into this. We need to get our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, not be sending more troops to yet another country. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I thought we were the world police? There's even a movie about it, I hear...So true, I can understand wanting to help but sometime we just need to take the backseat for a bit. Until were asked for help my two cents.

tyler524 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Team France, fuck yeah...... just doesn't sound as good. In all seriousness though we have enough of our problems, I really hope we don't get pulled into this mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 As long as we aren't leading the charge like we are everywhere else and its a deal where we can't afford not to get involved im ok with it. But this puts obama in a serious situation because of the stuff he said about us in iraq and afganastan imposing our views on other parts of the world.

RVTPilot Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Did the French throw a white flag over the cockpit and the dude just flew the plane into the ground? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 That plane was actually flown by a member of the opposition and had a mechanical issue which lead to the crash. The opposition got half a dozen or so broken planes that had been left at an airbase they took over. So far 2 of them have crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) That plane was actually flown by a member of the opposition and had a mechanical issue which lead to the crash. The opposition got half a dozen or so broken planes that had been left at an airbase they took over. So far 2 of them have crashed.That's pretty much what I've read. It was a Libyan Rebel aircraft circling the town, and they don't know who shot it down, or if. Dunno. Hard to say without more info, but mechanical problems usually don't include large amounts of flame and straight into the ground flight.edit: straight into the ground was probably deliberate by the pilot. Note that in the photo you can see him bailing out. Edited March 19, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 BTW, in the cruise missile launch, which was maybe 110 by US forces and some number by British forces. One was targeted at Qaddafi's Libyan Army supreme command center. Sort of our way of saying hello. That was also one of the first strikes in Iraq. Fly it in the window and destroy planning capabilities. It was first done in Vietnam, when a GBU 2000 pound bomb flew in the upstairs window of North Vietnamese headquarters, and landed on the map table. It was one of the most effect strikes of the Vietnam war, and scattered enemy high command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
